Do they not realize this will also drive away their own customers?

Boycott Home Depot. The only language these *giant corporations understand is money.

This should be considered assault against anyone nearby

I don’t think this is legal

So they're just assaulting all the customers who are trying to walk into the store then?

Wouldn’t this also drive customers away?

Home Depot is based in Georgia and the founder was fully supportive of republicans. Don’t be surprised when the store espouses his values.

Cities should all operate publicly-run day labor programs to protect workers from shit like this and from contractors who would steal their wages or put them in unsafe conditions

Also boycott Home Depot

I guess they'll start hanging around outside of Lowe's and when I have a project that requires day-laborers that's who'll get my money for materials.

On the other hand, the city put up signs years ago near the HD nearest me to point out where the day labor gathering place is, as well as some car barriers to keep them from getting hit. As far as I can tell it’s worked out pretty well. Next time I need to move more stuff than my back will allow I’m planning on hiring someone.

Let them know how you feel about these dangerous noise machines.

No surprise. Even though HD donates to both parties, they've been really right wing for a while.

Home Depot (HD) became the new leader through the end of February thanks to a surge of $140,000 last month alone. The company has now reportedly donated $265,000 in total to these lawmakers, dubbed the "Sedition Caucus" by political opponents. All told, 48 of the 147 lawmakers in this group have received money from the company’s PAC.

And a cofounder was definitely right wing:

A billionaire cofounder of Home Depot who said "nobody works" has donated nearly $64 million to political causes over the years, including the campaigns of former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Sen. John McCain, according to data from the Federal Election Commission.

What the noise machines look like:

How do these machines not make Home Depot customers sick, as well? I'm calling BS.

Wouldn't that also deter customers?

Are these similar machines to ones businesses use to "deter the homeless" that also end up harassing any neighbors?

I did not have hitting the brown note in the parking lot trying to buy a hammer on my 2025 bingo card

Sounds like Battery to me. Arrest anyone in the employee line who is responsible for this, right up to HQ.

Hmmm would it help with kidney stones?

Im trying to find the demographic cool with this.

Well thats one way to keep ICE away
